I feel like a lot has been going on the last 2 weeks that my head has been spinning. I celebrated not only my birthday, but also my mom's birthday and mother's day. Spent memorial day with family and have been crazy busy with school.
Speaking of my birthday....my boyfriend got me some pretty amazing brushes! I first heard about these brushes from Zoe and Lousie, who are currently selling them in their shop on www.zoella.com. Sadly mine were not ordered from their shop =( My boyfriend waiting until the last minute to order them and due to international shipping and such, just ordered them from Amazon.com.
But they are the Bdellium Tools Green Bambu Series Brushes and I got the 995 Kabuki and the Mineral 5 pc. Brush Set. All of the brushes are eco friendly and they all have green bambu handles. The information cards that come with the brushes state that the brushes are designed specifically for usage with mineral makeup but versatile enough to use in any application. I have been using my brushes with mostly powders (eye shadow, blush, bronzer, and matifying powder) but have also used with some cream products (shadow and blush).
These are some of the SOFTEST brushes I have ever felt, especially the Kabuki Brush. I took it out of the packaging and couldn't stop rubbing it on my face and running my hand along the top of it. I have used them since I was given them and they give such a flawless finish. I use the Kabuki to apply a powder on top of my foundation or BB cream just to help matify my skin.
The Mineral 5 pc Brush Set Includes:
#959B Powder Blending Brush - Which I actually use to apply blush. It's soft, yet kind of dense, so it's easy to concentrate the area of where you want to apply your makeup.
#942B Slanted Contour - Great for applying bronzer to contour the face lol. The great thing about this brush is that it's kind of on the small side. I don't know about any of you, but with larger contour brushes I feel like I am applying way more product than necessary to my face. This brush really targets in and narrows down the range of where the product is applied, making it easy to blend out without using TOO much product.
#787B Large Tapered Blending - Great brush for blending out your lid/crease colors to make any eye look appear seamless and effortless. This is one of the largest blending brushes I have ever seen or own. I have been using this as my "clean" blending brush just to clean up around the eye area after applying shadow and to help blend out any harsh lines.
#778B Large Shadow - And it is simply that. Again one of the largest shadow brushes I own, but I am absolutely in love with it. I can apply twice the amount of shadow with this brush compared to my other shadow brushes and I can flip the brush over and use the clean side to blend in a crease color. It's multi-functional and really helps to save me some time in the morning when I am getting ready by applying more product with less effort.
Over all I am really satisfied with these brushes. The seem to make my makeup application a lot easier in the morning when I am pressed for time and they are of great quality. There is the foundation set from this same line that I will be purchasing in the very near future. I would recommend everyone to give these brushes a go! Cleaning them has been simple and I haven't experienced any fall out with them yet!
Hope everyone is having a great day where ever you are! Take care guys =)
